If I didn’t feel like I was inasmuch trouble as he was in, I would have probably burst into laughter.His visit was a shock and I hoped deep down that dad wouldn’t say chastise him.“Seems like you both are busy, Beta Andrew, would you mind me borrowing my daughter for a while”?“Alpha, I’m sorry…we were just …” Andrew tried explaining, but Dad held up his palm, cutting him short, “I don’t really think we should talk about this”.“Ivory” he motioned for me to follow him. “Dad I can explain, we…” he cut me short once more, “Vy, we’d be late” with that I nodded.As I left with him, Andrew have me a sorry smile.We walked to the car in silence and when we entered, Dad began, “Seeing both of you act like teenagers is quite funny”.“I won’t lie, it’s surprising to see you mated to four different boys, and from my findings it seems you picked Andrew over them”.“How did they t

Daphne’s POVI felt guilty of not checking up on Andrew today, but I did ask about him because it was the right thing to do… I owed him that.Work was hectic as I and my team were beginning to get more offers and interviews. To add to my work, I was still trying to facilitate the merging of my dads tech company at the further end of town with mine.“You have Rex Caddel waiting for you in the waiting room” Rosy said, after greeting me, to which I stopped before remembering I had given him a job as my personal assistant.“Did you hand over those files to him?” I asked and she replied positively.Did I regret it now?No, it was just the perfect way to deal with his ego, he must have been sent to me by his scheming Dad to try to charm me.

Daphne’s POV“What was that you did in there?” I asked him as he eventually got back to the car.For fifteen minutes, yes, I checked the time… I sat down in rage while he gave them whatever explanation he had to give to make clear my actions.“What was what Ivory?” He asked me, switching off the ignition rather than driving off like he had wanted to.“Is that really a question, Andrew?” I thundered, looking everywhere but him and trying deep down not to say hurtful words like I’m used to saying when pissed.He didn't make things any easier as he gave careless answers to my angry questions, “you had practically made me very worthless in their eyes” I stated as he sighed before looking around.They were obviously staring and honestly, right now I didn’t care, I let him turn in the ignition and drive off. “What was that Andrew, because honestly, your silence is starting to get on my nerves here, in there you made sure to speak after I had made a point”.“You left in a very honorable mann
Daphne’s POVThe thought of Andrew being the person behind this plan had evaporated throughout the night and my thoughts were filled with only him, Rex Caddel.Two things were certain to me, Rex’s absence from work would make things hard for me as I was already used to his cheerful nature…in just one day and the other was Rex's plans may have succeeded in charming my wolf and me. I had cried through the night, and it took all I had not to head to their mansion to find out how he fared, worst still, Nina added to my worries by whining throughout the night.Rex had fought for me and had gotten injured because of me, that emotion was strong enough to wipe a bit of the hatred I felt for him alone.Without Alpha Ryder, Rex was still the same since I had ever remembered.

Daphne’s POV“Alpha Ryder” I said softly as my eyes were forcefully pulled away from Rex’s heated gaze.“Princess Ivory” He acknowledged with a smile on his face, “You are here to see Rex, I presume” he said, and I could see the smile beneath his words.If by any chance he thought that whatever he had sent his sons to do to me was already working, then he must be joking.I would rather not act in a manner that would be insensitive because of Rex, whose eyes I could see pleading. The amount of emotional abuse this man has put his sons through was getting on my nerves.“Are you done here with Rex?” He asked and as I moved to protest, Rex butted in, “yes, she was on her way out”.I frowned, but upon turning back to stare at him, his pleading eyes held another glint in it.
